This study investigates the short-term effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic lockdown on tracing and detection of tuberculosis (TB) patients in Tehran, Iran. Results of this study have demonstrated that due to the significant decrease in the identification of patients with suspected TB during the COVID-19 outbreak in Tehran, it is imperative that patients with suspected TB be tracked and diagnosed more quickly to make up for some of the decline in TB diagnosis in recent months and to recover lost cases.

COVID-19 封锁影响下的结核病：伊朗德黑兰的教训

本研究调查了 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行封锁对伊朗德黑兰结核病 (TB) 患者追踪和检测的短期影响。这项研究的结果表明，由于德黑兰 COVID-19 疫情期间疑似结核病患者的识别率显着下降，因此必须更快地跟踪和诊断疑似结核病患者，以弥补一些疑似结核病患者的不足。近几个月来结核病诊断率下降并恢复了丢失的病例。
